After the meeting in Sao Paulo, Mr Dyke told Sky Sports News it was time for Mr Blatter to go.

His comments come after Mr Blatter said fresh corruption allegations about the 2022 World Cup in Qatar were motivated by racism.

"I said to him, 'I regard the comments you made yesterday about allegations in the British media in which you described them as racist as totally unacceptable'," Mr Dyke said.

"The allegations being made are nothing to do with the racism, they are allegations about corruption. Fifa is a suspect organisation where there has been an awful lot of corruption."

Mr Dyke says it's time for the Fifa boss to go

Asked about the presidential election next year, he said: "The FA hasn't taken a decision yet but we want competition, we want different candidates. I think the view is it is probably time for change, yes."

Mr Dyke's call was backed by his counterpart at the Dutch FA Michael Van Praag, who was also unequivocal.

"When people talk about Fifa they talk about corruption, bribery etc," he said.

"Yes, Blatter is leading reforms, but he was also in charge when it went wrong and he has to bear responsibility for that."

The European intervention comes as Mr Blatter prepares to confirm he will stand for a fifth term as President next summer, despite promising three years ago he would quit in 2015.

Fifa has commissioned an American attorney Michael Garcia to investigate claims about Qatar and until Monday Mr Blatter had not commented.

But he then told delegates from Asia and Africa that the allegations in the Sunday Times were motivated by racism, leading many to conclude he is not taking the issue seriously.

The 2014 World Cup kicks off on Thursday when hosts Brazil play Croatia at the Arena de Sao Paulo.
